Description

Aurora utilizes principles of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics alongside a sophisticated continuous water model to assess the solvation effects on ligand binding affinities. This methodology is significantly different from the traditional scoring functions typically employed for predicting binding affinities. By integrating entropy and aqueous electrostatic contributions directly into the computations, Aurora's algorithms yield far more precise and reliable binding free energy values. The interaction between a ligand and a protein is fundamentally defined by the binding free energy value. This free energy (F) serves as a thermodynamic measure that correlates directly with the experimentally determined inhibition constant (IC50), influenced by factors such as electrostatic interactions, quantum effects, aqueous solvation forces, and the statistical characteristics of the molecules involved. Non-additivity in F arises primarily from two key components: the electrostatic and solvation energy, and the entropy, which together contribute to the complexity of ligand-protein interactions. Understanding these contributions is essential for the accurate prediction of binding affinities in drug design and molecular biology.

Description

Khimera serves as a tool for determining the kinetic parameters associated with microscopic processes, as well as the thermodynamic and transport characteristics of various substances and their mixtures within gases, plasmas, and at the gas-solid interface. Its main users include engineers and researchers who focus on developing kinetic models and engaging in thermodynamic and kinetic simulations pertinent to fields such as chemical engineering, combustion, catalysis, metallurgy, and microelectronics. This software is particularly well-suited for multi-scale modeling, as it connects the fundamental molecular properties of individual molecules with the ensemble-averaged characteristics of the reactive medium, encompassing thermodynamic and transport properties along with the rates of chemical reactions. Additionally, Khimera allows for the integration of quantum-chemical simulation results, enabling users to derive properties without requiring any experimental data from their side. By bridging the gap between different scales of modeling, Khimera enhances the understanding of complex systems in various scientific domains.
